Hey girls! So I’m 19 and I usually never have nightmares, but lately have been having a lot and last night I had 2. They felt so real and it was scary and I don’t know what’s causing it but it’s making me scared to go to sleep.. I tried looking up reasons as to why it could be happening and they all say anxiety or depression or being mis-treated and so on, but I was wondering, does it ever happen to you too?

My first dream last night I was in my dorm room with my roommate and we both heard our door open and we looked at each other and then at the door and I was the one that got up and walked into the bathroom (right next to our door) and pushed my hand into the curtain to see if someone was hiding there, and sure enough someone was standing there and the curtain started to open and then I woke up.. I laid in bed for a few minutes confused and scared before I texted my BF and told him and then realized I had to pee..which meant I had to go into the bathroom that I just had a nightmare about :) of course I had to check behind the curtain 😅 ~2:40AM~

The second one was so much more real, it was like 2 hours after I fell back asleep and I just remember I was sleeping and in my sleep I heard the door open and close again, as if it did in real life. So I quickly opened my eyes and looked over at my roommates bed and it was made and she wasn’t in it and I looked at my time and it said 12:25PM so I was confused and thought I was late for class but it didn’t make sense so I turned on my flashlight and shined it onto her bed and sure enough she was in it sleeping and it wasn’t made and the time was actually 4:25AM. I don’t even know where the dream ended and real life started in that one..

But the point is, now I’m scared to go to sleep and don’t know what to do..I talked to my Bf about it and he’s said “everything will be okay, it’s not real, you’ll be home with me soon” which is sweet of him and all, but I’m at college 2 hours away and that isn’t helping right now 😅
